No one expects to get into a car accident. Dangerous drivers are unpredictable. When you are driving, you should be able to expect other drivers around to use an appropriate level of caution. There are laws in place designed to prevent the kinds of careless behaviors that typically lead to car accidents. Driving while intoxicated or while texting is against the law for a reason.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Lewisville, TX

A few shockingly common types of driver misconduct lead to a large number of accidents. Collisions rarely happen between two drivers who were both driving carefully. Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:

• Texting or cell phone use - Texting while driving is against the law for good reason. A driver who is looking down at their cell phone cannot possibly be paying enough attention to the traffic around them. If you were rear-ended, it is fairly likely that the driver was distracted.
• Aggressive driving - Drivers who aggressively cut in and out of traffic, refusing to let others pass or merge, put everyone around them in danger. Those who drive for pay, such as Amazon delivery drivers, are frequently in a hurry and may exhibit aggression in traffic.
• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions - Drivers who do not obey the posted speed limit or do not slow down in inclement weather risk losing control of their vehicle or being unable to stop in time.
• DUI/DWI - Drunk driving is perhaps the most dangerous of all forms of driver negligence. While a sober driver may brake to at least mitigate the impact, a drunk driver may not have the reaction time to do so. Drunk drivers are also known for failing to notice stop signs, traffic lights, pedestrians, and other vehicles. Drivers who are intoxicated after using other substances, including marijuana, can also be very dangerous.
• Poor vehicle maintenance - Another risk factor for car accidents is driving a poorly-maintained vehicle. Brakes in bad condition can fail, rendering the driver unable to avoid hitting someone. Tires that have not been replaced as needed are prone to blowouts.
• Other distractions - While cell phones are likely the most common distraction, they are far from the only one. Distracted drivers might also be putting on makeup, attending to children in the backseat, looking for an item inside the car, or using their built-in infotainment system to locate a nearby gas station.

Our attorneys will work tirelessly to uncover the real cause of your car accident so that we can prove the other driver was to blame. We will also handle all communications with insurance companies, ensuring that the right information is provided to maximize the value of your claim. We know the steps people working for these companies often take to devalue or deny claims, and we are prepared to address these underhanded tactics. Since insurers know that we are not afraid to use litigation to fight for our clients' rights, they will be willing to negotiate settlements that will fully meet your needs.
